If I’m reaching out cold for tech recruiting, would you rather receive an email or LinkedIn message?

Email … I get too many LinkedIn recruiting messages. That’s just me though

Agreed

LinkedIn for me

LinkedIn for me.

LinkedIn for sure

LinkedIn was a complete wash of noise for me so I deleted some years ago, an email works or any authentic connection

LinkedIn. If I’m open to opportunities I’m always on it, if I’m not open to opportunities then I’m probably not responding regardless.

From my experience, Email outreaches have been less relevant to what I do & are contract jobs, so honestly I’m just kind of in the habit of ignoring the email ones now, even when I’m in the job market

Have competing offers from EY and KPMG UK Economic advisory teams( Manager/Snr Exec level). KPMG's UK technical rep and comp offer is better, but the hours appear longer. EY UK Director has had several calls selling culture (diversity and work life balance). Is there actually a substantive emphasis on this by EY? Or are 50+ hour weeks quite common?

I suspect it's going to be quite team dependent/ project dependent, and therefore a gamble in any case.

Thanks for any perspectives.
